Mini PCI-E Wifi recommendations?

Post by Pj »

Looking to swap out my two cards in the MW and ML for some -N or -ac cards. Anyone have a recommendation on a nice make/model of these cards that seem to have pretty good performance?

How many antennas does the laptop have? 2 or 3? I have the Intel Centrino 6200 (2 antenna connectors). Works great and very cheap.

If you want to get around the 16 mode scan limit on the Motorola Spectra, then read this guide and go to the original thread Here! 8)

Two on both, but I only use one on the MW. I saw the 6200, but I believe I need the full sized boards to use them without trying to find a workable adapter. The ones I have seen are for Dell's, but I couldn't tell if there was a universal adpater.

Not sure what you mean about the adapter. The 6200 uses a Mini PCI-E connector. I have one installed in my Asus Laptop and it works fine.
